Trace metals in two commercial shrimps from southeast Brazil: Baseline records before large port activities in coastal waters

This study presents baseline records of trace metals for two commercial shrimps from the inner continental shelf of southeast Brazil (~22°S). Organisms were sampled in 2004, 10 years before the beginning of large port activities in coastal waters. The concentrations of trace metals in muscle tissues (μg.g−¹ w.w.) of Xyphopenaues kroyeri and Artemesia longinaris are as follows: Al: 141.57 and 146.71, Fe: 83.17 and 91.68, Zn: 28.69 and 29.70, Cu: 7.19 and 3.94, Mn: 1.47 and 1.72, Pb: 1.14 and 0.60, V: 0.66 and 0.56, Ni: 0.38 and 0.34, Cr: 0.42 and 0.29, and Cd: 0.15 and 0.14, respectively. Significantly higher concentrations of Cu and Pb were recorded for X. kroyeri. In general, the concentrations are below the maximum permissible limits for metals in fishery/food products, as established by the Brazilian Agency for Sanitary Vigilance (ANVISA), except for Pb and Cr. These baseline records are relevant for future monitoring.
